How much Trump disaster will we put up with?

Look, let's not beat around the bush here. We know what needs to be done to get this country back on track, and that is to somehow remove Trump from the Presidency. This fact is painfully obvious, just a month and a half into his second term. In spite of the fact that his caterwauling and hollering about the 2020 election being stolen from him was quite the strategy in preventing Democrats from making the same accusation of him this time around, I remain unconvinced that he won this election legitimately. The media is going to great lengths to try and make it appear otherwise, in spite of some glaring evidence that has been dug up by credible sources.

That being said, I also need to point out what we have learned about who we are as Americans in the 21st century. Education, specifically the system of public education that we have developed since the Civil War, has been the primary means of providing an informed and effective electorate, capable of maintaining a constitutional democracy that is truly of, by and for the people. Democracies do not always succeed because, in some countries, mostly underdeveloped and undereducated countries, the electorate does not have the educational background to understand how democracy works and how the people are empowered by it. The sign that we have reached this point in the United States is the number of votes Trump got, plus the number of people who are eligible to vote, but didn't participate at all. Education, as one of the primary means for preserving and protecting government of, by and for the people, has failed to do so.

We have a partisan political element that has been at work for at least 45 years, undermining the balance of power in the Constitution, pushing a white supremacist, Christian nationalist agenda, systematically undermining the function of the constitutional republic by using the opportunities it has when it is the majority party to take control of the judicial system that can't work the way it was designed in the balance of powers when it follows a partisan agenda rather than the rule of law. Republicans have abandoned compromise and negotiation as a means of making government work, and are bent on seeing it fail by demonizing opponents, and undermining the Constitution and the rule of law. Every Republican administration since Reagan has followed this pattern, testing the waters. Trump simply brings the most destructive elements to the table in his gross incompetence, mental instability and moral bankruptcy.

Our options, under the rule of law, include impeachment and removal, the invoking of the 25th amendment, or his resignation. But, there are some important steps that we can take now, which will demonstrate whether or not the Democratic party leadership in the Congress is a genuine opposition group, or a bunch of self-serving pretenders who are not capable of defending American constitutional democracy.

1. 21st century Americans have let down their country and democracy.

We are not an educated and informed electorate as required to operate a democracy.
And so many do not even vote.

And many think a psychopath criminal, rapist, traitor, felon, is an appropriate leader.

Many Americans need to hang their heads in shame.

2. Well, there was his first term.

And his demented followers wanted a second. So, I don't think there's a bottom to this one...

3. Apparently, a lot of Democrats don't seem to think its all that bad.

Or they wouldn't sit out the fight.
